Ossigeno
Valeria Rossi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stanotte voglio fare
Un sogno profetico
Svitare le antenne
Ad un grillo elettronico
Succede di tutto nel mio campo magnetico
Mi pungono le stelle marine dell'Atlantico

Non troverete più le monete sotto l'albero
Lucignolo lo sai ora sono libera

Come un labirinto torno sempre a te
Come in mezzo a un branco vedo chi non c'è

Se sono un mare aperto
Adesso mi navigo
Se sono la mia casa
Allora mi abito
Groviglio di pensieri ora mi illumino
Non posso più mentire ho bisogno di ossigeno

Nessuno può comprarmi più con un giocattolo
Ora mangiafuoco con me fa il timido

Come un labirinto torno sempre a te
Come in mezzo a un branco vedo chi non c'è

Respiro il tuo respiro
I ricordi dietro l'angolo
Li guarderò sfilare
Diventeranno ossigeno





Ti voglio complicato e semplice-ossigeno

Overall Meaning

Valeria Rossi's song Ossigeno is a poetic representation of a dream where she wants to experience something prophetic. The lyrics suggest that she wants to break free from her routine life and connect with nature by observing an electronic cricket. She feels the magnetic forces that surround her, and the stars of the Atlantic Ocean prick her. This line could be interpreted as the challenges and struggles that she constantly faces in her life.


Further, the lyrics talk about the freedom she has achieved by breaking all the barriers and living life without any constraints. She mentions that she has matured and grown beyond the point of being bought with toys, and now she craves for genuine human connections. She compares herself to an open sea where she has to navigate her own way and yet be her own home. The line "Non posso più mentire ho bisogno di ossigeno" means that she cannot fake and pretend about liking things anymore because she needs fresh air to breathe, indicating the importance of being true to oneself.


Rossi's lyrics signify that though she wants to escape from the chaos of life, she always finds herself returning to where it all began. Her past memories are an essential component of her present, and she cannot get rid of them. She compares this to a labyrinth, where no matter which way she turns, she always ends up in the center. The last line of the song "Ti voglio complicato e semplice-ossigeno" suggests that she wants love that is both complicated and straightforward - something that will give her the freedom and the breath she needs to live life to the fullest.
